Customer Reviews

"Its newly decorated and quite nice. It's brighter, and more modern. Cajun dry rub wings are some of the best dry rub Wings I've ever tasted. Food was very good, especially the soft pretzels. All in all was a very good experience. However, many items on the menu were either not available, or have they had sold out of."

"Bar atmosphere with good food. We did not think they were open at first as their open sign is partially covered and looking in the windows it looks empty. They must be in the middle of renovating. The beer cheese soup tasted just like beer cheese but with a souplike texture. The portion sizes were decent. It would be nice if the subs and burgers came with fries. We sat at the bar, the waitresses were kind and attentive."

"First time there. We had the meatballs which were good but you only get 2 and a lot of garlic bread. I can't have carbs. It was expensive. Husband had the Stromboli which would have been great but unfortunately they over cooked it. It was burnt on the bottom and that part wasn't edible. I had the wings... OMG they were probably the best wings. They aren't breaded and HUGE!I got them dry with sauce on the side. I am definitely going back to get the wings. The waitresses were absolutely wonderful. We had the main waitress but then another one would stop by and made sure we were good on drinks. What great teamwork."

"Great bar with damn good food! A bit unassuming as it's in a strip mall next to a Lowe's I sat at the bar and Kerry (bartender) was really charming and always there at the right time. I had wings (6) appetizer meatballs with cheesy garlic bread and an iced tea all for $26!! Definitely recommend!"

"Quality food, good service (particularly at the bar). Brightly lit and equipped with a patio. A pleasant and charming venue for my first visit. The cinnamon toast shots were pretty good as well."

- Hayley S.

"Pretty good pizza, eat while it's hot, don't think it does well once it's cool. Plenty of draft selection, sometimes good prices on liquor, sometimes not, just ask if there are specials. Pretty noisy most of the time but super casual, indoor and partially outdoor seating. Kids ok until 8pm then it becomes more bar than restaurant, especially on weekends."

- Alex R.

"Food was very good but wait staff was so attentive and made sure you were helped. Great beer selection. Best part was 6 for 12 domestics before 7 when we asked latter on into our visit. Extra bonus, so COVID compliant, governor's grandma would roll in her grave (God bless her soul)."
